When I started cruising, I was surprised to learn that staterooms (and especially suites) start selling out a year in advance. I’ve reserved a number of staterooms in a range of prices. There are two discount incentives available for a limited time for our group. This includes 5 Aqua Class staterooms at the Concierge Class price!
